	WHEREAS, The celebration of The University of Texas at
	Arlington Day at the State Capitol on April 17, 2025, provides a
	fitting opportunity to recognize this notable institution; and

	College was established as a private school for area youth; the
	campus was converted into Carlisle Military Academy in 1902 and was
	subsequently known as Arlington Training School and then Arlington
	Military Academy; in 1917, the 35th Texas Legislature created a new
	junior college at the site, Grubbs Vocational College, which was a
	branch of what is now The Texas A&M University System; the campus
	eventually became North Texas Junior Agricultural College and later
	Arlington State College, and in 1965, it was transferred to The
	University of Texas System; it adopted its current name in 1967; and
	WHEREAS, Today, UTA is the second-largest university in the
	UT System, boasting an enrollment of more than 41,000 students and
	offering over 180 baccalaureate, master's, and doctoral degree
	programs; each year, the university and its alumni contribute
	$28.8 billion in economic impact; and
	WHEREAS, UTA encompasses nine colleges, which provide
	courses in such critical fields as public health, elder care,
	nursing, construction management, big data analytics, special
	education, and engineering; in addition, the institution promotes
	educational and workforce development at its Fort Worth Center and
	its Research Institute; on April 3, 2025, it commemorated the
	groundbreaking of its new UTA West campus; and
	WHEREAS, A world-class research university, its projects
	contributed $59 million to the national economy in 2024; UTA has
	been ranked as the ninth fastest-growing doctoral public
	institution in the United States, and it holds an R1 designation
	from the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher
	Education; the university has also been designated as a
	Hispanic-Serving Institution as well as an Asian American and
	Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution by the U.S.
	Department of Education; and
	WHEREAS, Over the past 130 years, The University of Texas at
	Arlington has provided its students with a strong foundation for
	achievement, and in so doing, it has played a significant role in
	fostering economic development and enhancing the quality of life in
	the Lone Star State; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize April 17, 2025, as The University of
